To make a very long story short, I would like to say that you will see incremental improvements for almost all of the points made in the article, but taken as a stand-alone program KSpread is still behind OOcalc and Gnumeric.

Where KOffice really shines are in these 3 areas:
- its comprehensiveness
- its light weight
- its integration in the KDE environment.

I haven't made a deep investigation of OO.o 2.0 so I could be wrong here, but my impression is that KOffice is the most comprehensive free office suite in
existence. This is of course measured in number of components, not features. :-)

And if I may speculate a bit, I think that the clean codebase of KOffice in comparison to Open Office will allow it to enjoy a quicker development in the future, especially if we can get some more programmers on board.

The big Java debacle won't help to endear them to new developers either, so I believe that KOffice has a very bright future, especially in the light of KDE:s increased popularity from about 40% to 61% as shown in a recent survey.
